I am extremely delighted to be invited as a guest 'Featured Artist' at "Anything But Cute" and I would like to say a big THANKS to Pamellia and her Team for the invitation.

I love this month’s chosen theme, ‘An
Autumn Day’. The beautiful autumn colors are here to give us inspiration to create lovely projects.
I really get inspired by these colors and have taken this as an inspiration for my reverse canvas project.

I started with reverse side of a plain white canvas, covering
the edges of the canvas by cork ribbon for a wooden look. I then added texture
paste through a Dina Wakley ‘Jungle’ stencil to create a forest background look.

Next, I measured the inside dimension of my canvas
and trimmed a patterned paper to be pasted inside. I also applied a thin layer of gesso, added additional texture paste and glued "Holiday Green" die cut from sizzex, inked with distress inks.

I have also glued some fabric leaves after inking and
spraying them with different shades of orange
and red for that autumn look.

The bottom part is covered with heavyweight
cardstock, after stamping and inking and then applying crackle paste to it. Some more texture paste here and there and then glued my patterned paper inside.

As I wanted to create an autumn scene, I cut
out silhouettes of a couple with my cameo, painted it with black gesso.

Today I have another Guest Designer post for you all and it is for TTCRD blog.

I am really honored to be a guest designer at TTCRD blog for this week :)

For this post I have created a card and have colored the beautiful image from A Day For Daisies called 'Tiny Fashionable Present' with Copic markers The
background is done by layering different papers. The purple and silver papers are both heat embossed with embossing powder to give my card a rich look. Finally, I have embellished this card with ribbons, stamens and handmade flowers.
